Abstract

Feeding disorders represent a common problem that affects children’s health and family routines and since information about non-pharmacological interventions is limited, a scoping review was conducted to identify and describe non-pharmacological interventions for pediatric feeding disorders. This review identified 74 studies. Behavioral strategies were the most common type of intervention. Most studies combined two or more different types of interventions, used an interdisciplinary approach was frequently observed and the profession with the highest frequency of occurrence is occupational therapy. Future research could focus on investigating a greater number of studies with higher levels of evidence and analyzing intervention effectiveness.
